Episode 118: A Life in Another World that is Far from Free 54

Whoa, as expected of the Knight Commander with a special class.  

He’s cutting down two level 40 enemies with ease.  

The other knights were also managing to cover for those who had fallen, maintaining the front lines.  

“Knight Commander!”  

“Oh! Young man, are you alright?”  

“Yes, thanks to Yuria.”  

“More importantly, Knight Commander! It seems that Gozef has escaped through a hidden passage!”  

“Hmm! Is that so?!”  

Wait, my safety gets brushed aside for that?!  

And the Knight Commander accepted it too!  

“Narssen! Is Narssen here?”  

“Yes! You called?”  

“Gozef has fled through the hidden passage! Take the boy and Yuria and capture him! You can do it!”  

“Understood!”  

……Wait, am I going too?  

Well, I guess so.  

I can’t guide them otherwise.  

So, I ate a few more grapes to prepare.  

Seeing this, the two of them nodded slightly at me.  

““Let’s go!””  

“This way!”  

“Think I will let you escape—gobuh!”  

Just as I was about to run, a level 40 enemy blocked our path.  

However, in an instant, the Knight Commander’s great sword swung horizontally. And although the enemy managed to parry it, they were easily blown away.  

“…Knight Commander, that’s scary!?”  

“Let’s go, Maki!”  

“Ah, right! Let’s go again!”  

I was a bit stunned by the shock. But Yuria urged me on, and I hurriedly began to run.  

We kicked down the door to Gozef’s room. But of course, there was no one inside.  

However, when I displayed the room’s details on my status screen, I noticed a narrow passage behind a large shelf in front of me. I confirmed that Gozef’s icon was moving ahead.  

“It’s behind here!”  

“Understood! Move aside!”  

—Boom!  

…I really wanted to clear that quietly.  

There’s no way they didn’t realize the hidden passage is compromised now.  

“Full-speed ahead! Let’s go!”  

“Let’s move!”  

“Y-yes!”  

Gozef’s icon moved slightly faster, but compared to us, it was like a hare and a tortoise.  

Still, it’s strange that he doesn’t even have any bodyguards with him.  

To be honest, there’s actually another person with Gozef. But they clearly aren’t a bodyguard due to their low level.  

That made me a bit skeptical.  

The reason is that the name of the other person is a woman.  

If I think about the fact that he was alone in a room with a low-level woman…  

Yeah, it makes sense that there were no guards in the room.  

“There she is!”  

“Eek!?”  

“…Is she wrapped in a sheet?”  

Yuria’s voice reached me just as a scream that sounded like a wail came from ahead.  

Although it was dim, the vice commander seemed to see it clearly, and it appeared that the other person wasn’t wearing any clothes.  

…Yeah, that confirms it.  

“That old man was cheating, and it seems he took it a step further?”  

“Disgusting! I’ll blow him away!”  

Just as I muttered that, a furious Yuria was about to charge forward—at that very moment.  

“Wait! Yuria, fall back!”  

“——!”  

—Clang!  

Reacting to my words, Yuria jumped back as if she had been repelled.  

Immediately after, the wall she was about to rush into was sharply sliced open, and stones came tumbling down.  

“…What just happened?”  

“…There was no enemy presence?”  

…Seriously?  

You’re showing up now?  

He charged in from outside the floor map in one go.  

As I watched the figure emerge sluggishly from the rubble, Yuria grimaced and muttered,  

“…..Mitsurugi.”  

“…………….”  

“……Arata!”  

“…………..” 

“Hey, answer me, Arata!”  

“…………….”  

Arata showed no reaction to either Yuria’s voice or mine.  

This must be what Madoka said—he’s like a puppet.  

Having practiced kendo, Arata stood tall. But the person in front of us was hunched over. And when he turned his face toward us, he merely tilted his head with no strength behind it.  

Even though our eyes met, it felt like Arata wasn’t looking at us at all.  

“Appraisal: The Condition of Mitsurugi Arata.”  

I immediately used Appraisal, and it displayed Arata’s condition: [Charm] [Magic Eyes] [Mind Paralysis].  

“Seriously?!”

“…………….”  

“Mihiro-dono!”  

Did he react to my voice?  

As Arata charged straight ahead, the Vice Commander stepped in and swung his sword.  

The sound of fierce clashing blades echoed through the narrow passage. And with the arrival of the super-class Arata, Gozef stopped fleeing and let out a loud laugh.  

“Gahaha! This one is a Sword Saint, a super class from another world! You bandits will be turned to trash in an instant!”  

…Wow, what a typical scummy king.  

“Appraisal: How to Restore Arata’s Condition!”  

While the Vice Commander was holding him back, I cast Appraisal to find a way to help Arata.  

And the method was incredibly simple.  

“Vice Commander! Please beat Arata down!”  

“There’s no way I can do such a thing—”  

“Move aside!”  

Wait, it’s you, Yuria!  

“…!?!?!”  

—BAMMMMMMMM!

…Well, it doesn’t matter who beats him down, so yeah.

(Note: Hmm, I guess that adds up one more condition: [Hemorrhage].)
